The Best Poem Of Florence A Clark

Battle

Battle

Pigeon Cove, MA 1948

Above, the sky, remote and pure,
Below, the earth, steadfast and sure.
Between the two, the surging sea,
Fighting both for mastery.


Blue swell of wave, foam flung high,
White flash of challenge to proud sky,
The surge, the crash, the sounding roar
Of wind-swept wave on earth's stone door.
